Yep ... it's total bullshit. Talking to foreigners, migrants, tourists etc will sober you up on this. They'll tell you how they've never been as cold as they are in Aus, despite coming from Northern Europe or Canada, and that our houses are made of cardboard.

Then we have a landlord based housing system and a totally inflated market just to ramp up the absurdity.

Massive gap under the front door? No worries mate chuck a door snake in front of it.

Seriously I think you're absolutely right it's one of those things everyone is so used to we don't even realise how bad it is compared to other places.

My back door has a weirdly elevated door frame so I can’t even chuck a door snake on it. It has to be a giant rolled up beach towel and still doesn’t work
